Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Mr. Roland has brought it up before in question with FMBS in the House. That was in the new collective agreement to try to address anomalies within the contract. What I am trying to point out here is that, indeed, because of the contract that was in place, people feel discriminated against because of the way they were placed in those positions. Although, the collective agreement would be negotiated new and would start off new on April 1st, hopefully with the new agreement 1998, still does not help them where they have lost over $2,000 in salary and pensionable earnings. This was the concern. I will forward a copy of this letter that I have from those employees on to the Minister and your staff for further clarification. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
